FENDER SAYS
The Vintage Hot Rod series incorporates the best of old and new into versatile instruments made for an Entirely new generation of Fender players as well as longtime enthusiasts. From their powerful new pickup configurations and intuitive switching to comfortable new neck designs, Vintage Hot Rod guitars and basses have been painstakingly modified with the modern performer in mind. And with authentically replicated design touches, vintage-style hardware and cases, and resonant lacquer finishes, Vintage Hot Rod Instruments continue to evoke the golden age of Fender innovation, functionality and style.
The Fender Vintage Hot Rod ’50s Stratocaster gives you the best Strat tone, style and performance of both eras—authentically vintage-style design touches straight from the 1950s and hot-rodded modern mods ideal for today’s players. Premium features include an ash body; maple neck with “D”-shaped profile, vintage-style heel-end truss rod adjustment, and satin back finish; and a compound-radius (7.25”-12”) maple fingerboard with 21 6105 frets, bone nut and gloss finish. Singing tone comes from an American Vintage single-coil ’59 Stratocaster neck pickup and single-coil ’56 Stratocaster middle pickup, and a Texas Special single-coil Stratocaster bridge pickup. In addition to five-way blade pickup switching, an S-1 switch adds the bridge pickup to pickup switch positions 3, 4 and 5. Other features include a single-ply white pickguard, three aged white control knobs (master volume, tone 1, tone 2), two-point synchronized tremolo with vintage-style stamped steel saddles (chrome cover included), vintage-style locking tuners and locking strap buttons. Available in 2-color Sunburst and Fiesta Red gloss finishes. Includes upgraded deluxe vintage-style tweed case, vintage-style 8’ cable, vintage-style black strap, extra tremolo springs and wrenches.
